On the same note. I still haven't figured out the loop. Oh wait, that's Restoration. Sorry....
The loop is tedius, but effective, if you have high enough alchemy skill. I once tried it early on and couldn't get above a certain number, thought they had "fixed" it and was bummed out, but when my alchemy increased (50 maybe?) it suddenly worked.
For ease of use, I recommend taking off everything except your alchemy gear and the ingredients you need, because the key is to take off all your related gear and put it right back on, between each potion. I always completely exit the menu, but I've seen youtube examples, where people stay in menu, as long as every item comes off and goes back on.
How I do it, 4 pieces of alchemy gear, lots of spadetail or longfin and at least that much salt, and the ingredients of anything else I want to make. (usually smithing and enchanting, sometimes destruction potions)
All gear in place, hit the table. Make restoration. Quit alchemy. All gear off, close menu, open menu, all gear back on. Drink. Hit the table, make restoration. (should be stronger) Quit alchemy. All gear off, close, open, back on, drink, etc. When it gets up high enough, I'll make a few more restoration and then whip out a few smithing or enchanting really quick, while the effects are still "on."
